My roommate and best friend in college and I used to make applesauce all the time with apples we would “liberate” from the dining hall. We had so many in the house one day that we knew we could never eat before they went bad, so we threw them in a pot with a little bit of water and cinnamon.
This apple stew is lovely with a few different varieties of apple, but here I used my favorite kind, Pink Ladies. They have a natural tartness and bite, but an undeniable sweetness that make them perfect for making applesauce. This might be the quickest and easiest way to make a few pounds of apples into a delicious and healthy dish for breakfast or dessert. [click to continue…]
I was tempted to give these muffins a ridiculously long winded name, as Glazed Apple Muffins doesn’t really cut it. Containing a multitude of random ingredients (my attempt at balancing the bad with good) these muffins are, shall we say, interesting?
With not one overriding flavor(even with chunks of delicious apple), they’re an incredibly satisfying snack that remain moist for days when stored in an airtight container [click to continue…]

In Southern California we don’t get much in the line of Fall weather, but that makes us crave it even more! What defines this wonderful season more than apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup? Pumpkin too, but we’ll get to that on another post…..
Beware: your house will smell amazing if you bake up this pie. A bonus in so many ways; you get to eat a healthy cake and breath in the bliss. Enjoy! [click to continue…]
It’s blackberry pickin’ time again! Not only that but the weather has taken a slight turn for the worse here, meaning fruit crumbles are firmly back on the dessert menu!
I adore crumbles and, even more so, I adore blackberries; but on their own they don’t make for a great crumble filling because they lack texture and bite, which is why I’ve paired them with apple. [click to continue…]

I thought I pulled this recipe out of thin air, but then my mother revealed to me that she used to feed this to me as a baby. I don’t really remember eating this as a baby. In fact, I don’t really remember a lot of things that happened to me as a baby since, in my defense, I was a baby. But perhaps, this recipe was hidden somewhere in the back of my mind waiting to be pulled out and enjoyed. I think that’s probably what happened.
Either way, this is a great recipe that’s very simple and very delicious. It’s a great side dish for a fall roast and has a lot of simple, clean flavor. [click to continue…]

We have all heard the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and there is quite a bit of truth to this. Let’s explore what makes an apple so beneficial to our health: [click to continue…]

I am really into holidays and any occasion to celebrate, particularly one that necessitates pie. Fall has many such occasions, pumpkin pie and pecan pie for Thanksgiving, but summer has no defined pie to holiday relationships. This leaves me in place to take every chance I can get to bake a flaky-crusted, fruit-filled summer dessert. [click to continue…]
